I've never sold a car privately.
My very earliest cars were scrapped and all my later ones have either involved WBAC or trade-in.
Do I need to mention anything in a car advert and/or when someone comes to take a look at it?
Or can I literally just advertise:
Car for sale - VW xxxxxx - £Amount I want
Then when anyone comes to look at it I just remain silent?
We're looking to sell my wife's car within the next few months. Generally it's OK for a 2008 vehicle. Mileage is low for the year (70k) and the body work not too bad (anyone taking a look will see the two ickle dents).
The actual issues are:
Heater seems to either be freezing cold or scorching hot. No amount of playing with settings, turning AC on/off can we get a temperature between
It's a 3-door and the driver side seat isn't folding forward correctly
Central locking (key - hasn't got remote) is temperamental. One day it'll be fine, others she'll lock drivers door and then I'll have to manually lock passenger (unlocking is always fine)
WBAC say £1700 - but I assume they base that on some museum piece and despite it being 15 years or so old, they will knock that down.
I think it'll be a perfect first car for someone, and want to try and get at least £2k
I know if I advertise it as "perfect" or stupid like "heating and central locking works perfectly" I'd be in trouble.
But can I legally mention none of the issues (unless I was specifically asked about one of those areas) and it's still caveat emptor?
